This small wedge tomb is reached from a footpath leading from a minor road off and 4 miles north of the R476. It has a gallery only 5'6" long and 2'7" high. However, a number of stones behind the chamber appear as though they have collapsed and may possibly be the remains of a second chamber and capstone or an ante-chamber.
